Excerpt:

As we approach Valentine’s Day, remember God’s commandment that we should love one and another… and take direct action to love our enemies. Cherish your friends. Tell your family they are special. Express it with words and actions. Spread love, joy, happiness, and a smile to all you come in contact with.

Don’t be depressed if you are alone because if you remember God’s commandment to love one another, and truly work at being a loving person, you will know God loves you. You will find someone, somehow, somewhere to share a part of the day.
